How to Install Memory On a Toshiba Tecra M2
In terms of bang for your buck, there are few computer upgrades that improve performance as significantly as memory upgrades. Extra memory--or RAM--increases the amount of information your computer can hold, and makes it run faster. Additionally, memory prices are always going down, so improving your laptop's performance on the cheap is very simple. On laptops like the Toshiba Tecra M2, it's extremely easy to add additional memory.

Tips & Warnings
When installing the memory, hearing a click or pop will let you know that it's properly installed.
Grease or static electricity can damage computer hardware, so work in a clean work area that doesn't have sources of static electricity, such as a carpet (or use anti-static wristbands).
